What if this fall your congregation moved beyond sampling Scripture to truly feasting on it?
This week, Sean Palmer makes a compelling case for pastors who typically preach topically to consider walking their church through entire books of the Bible. Fall offers the kind of consistency that makes this possible—not just for the sake of depth, but for unity. Not just for teaching, but for transformation. It’s a timely word for anyone planning the next season of preaching—and pastoring.
The second piece offers a personal reflection on the power of correction. Jason Edwin Dees shares how unsolicited notes from longtime members became surprising gifts for his own formation. Some of the toughest letters he's received were not setbacks—they were sanctifying.
Together, these pieces remind us: ministry forms us through the Word and through the people.
Is the perfect church out there? That’s exactly what author Peter DeHaan set out to discover by visiting a different Christian church every week for a year.
In 52 Churches, DeHaan chronicles his experiences with vastly different denominations, worship styles, and believers, and offers invaluable insights into what makes a church welcoming to newcomers.
Discover how to help first-time church visitors become repeat visitors. Learn how to greet church visitors well and not scare them off. Uncover turnoffs that make church visitors cringe. Find out how to help church visitors before they show up. DeHaan shares all this and more, while recounting the sometimes funny, always interesting tales from his travels.
If you’re a pastor looking for new ways to engage visitors, this book will offer thoughtful insights and a beautiful picture of the diversity within the Church. Get your copy today!
